- improved wireless speed and battery life
- accelerometer
- screen that is smaller than 4 inches

- Nikkei expects release in second half of 2010
Yomiuri Shimbun
- “it is believed that the system will use a Sharp 3D LCD panel.”
- this 3d tech is acheived by placing a small film on the screen, which is separated by a small space. The slight differences in the image creates the 3d effect
Mainichi Shimbun
- software developers have been briefed on the system
